About this map

Bolatusha and the surrounding rural landscapes of Leake and Attala Counties are defined by a network of family cemeteries and winding creeks. This part of central Mississippi, captured in the mid-2010s, remains largely pastoral, with small communities like Joseph and Zemuly linked by a complex grid of county roads. The terrain is bisected by numerous waterways including Horton Cr, Bolatusha Cr, and Long Cr, which flow through the undulating timberlands and agricultural plots.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data here, with over ten burial grounds identified across the quadrangle, including Ellington Cem, Malett Cem, and Samarra Cem. The southern edge of the map features the Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail, a modern artery following one of the oldest overland routes in the American South, providing a sharp contrast to the local routes like Shiloh Rd and Galilee-Thomastown.
